Dear all
I had my Model 3 for about 3.5 years, and it feels to me like there are lots more bugs and niggles than there used to be. A selection of recent ones for me below; any advice, solutions or empathy gratefully received:
Walk away lock works for me all the time, but for my partner only about 75% of the time. The other 25% the car stays unlocked and the app sends a notification to tell us after a few minutes. Grrr.
The music no longer turns the volume down when you open the car door, leading to some embarrassment in crowded car park situations
Most of the time now, the car doesn’t connect to my phone when I get in, despite having ‘priority device’ ticked and even though I'm using the phone as the key. (And this seems to untick itself after a bit too). Very annoying when I get a phone call.
Sometimes the car unlocks immediately, sometimes I have to wave the phone around in the air for 15 seconds before it notices
When searching for music in the Apple Music App, the search results are all from Spotify. And, if you use a voice command to play music, it finds the track but doesn’t play
The lumbar button doesn’t work if I get into the car directly after my partner has driven it, only if I start from cold
Not sure how the dipped beam and daylight running lights are meant to function, but mine have always been on together (logically, should it be the DRLs in the day, adding dipped beam in dark weather/dusk/etc?). But just recently, sometimes they don’t come on at all – haven’t checked whether the lights are on but the icons have just disappeared.
A couple of updates ago, it completely forgot all our devices and settings, and had to faff around setting it all back up again.
There are probably a few other things I haven’t remembered. When I got the car, it was like ‘wow, this is so far ahead of other cars it’s like driving the future’. Now I’m thinking ‘shall I just get a Volvo next time where everything just works consistently?’ I should add that I haven't searched for solutions to any of these on the forums, I'm mostly here to moan
